you idiots often play like nine pins. the tail play well very very rarely. having such a wonderful players in our team, we can not dream for 150-200 run lead. let us wait and watch!
At 37, he played like the kid who wished it wouldn't get dark. When Tendulkar made his Test debut, his teammate Cheteshwar Pujara was one. Now 22, Pujara, who has never known his national side without Tendulkar, waited and watched in the pavilion, itching to make his first walk onto a Test pitch, yet remaining as entranced as the rest.
To a query whether he tried to sledge Tendulkar during the innings, Johnson remarked with a smile: "I occasionally get into him a little bit. After one of the short balls I gave him a stare. But he doesn’t take too much chance to be honest, he is in his own world. When someone is on 180 or 190 these talks doesn’t matter. There is not too much you can say to him anyway."

Sachin is also good at tennis as he already has a tennis elbow..federer and Nadal be warned..
Quality of bowling is less now compared to the time when Gavaskar was playing. Bowling was then terror and without helmet it was very difficult to face Thomson,lillie,roberts,holding, marshal,garner, croft, imran,wills to name a few Even then Sachin is one of the greatest player of all time. But it is futile to compare players of different era

I FULLY ENDORSE YOUR VIEWS.It is not proper to compare the players of different era as playing conditions, rules could be different. You even can not compare opening batsman with middle order. Both Sachin and Sunil are legendory players and we Indians should be proud of them. Prakash Wakankar

'But it is futile to compare players of different era' Then why are you comparing? Just watch Sachin and enjoy .
Lara was a fine batsmen, but he had neither Tendulkars technique,his runs or his consistency. And his highest scores of 375 and 400 were made against weak english attacks.SRT, by contrasts saves his best for the aussies, and I really hope that he gets a big 300 tomorrow. Hes the greatest batsmen ever, and that he has done so for 21 years, while playing all 3 formats is mind boggling. Indians must savour this rarest of rare gem that we have. Since a draw, would ensure indias series win, i hope Sachin bats the whole day tomorrow and cross 400. I for sure, will be glued to the tv set the whole of tomorrow. Lets all cheer the god tomorrow

Actually Lara is the best ever batsmen, sachin can't play attacking and long innings like lara in tests. sachin also not best under pressure example many tests 2nd inns. He is a fine batsman thats all. This is fact.

Please people, don't put pressure on Sachin. I frankly will be happy with 200. Anything after that is a bonus.

Dude, I can understand that you r one of Sachin's biggest fan, and so am I. But don't downplay Lara's innings of 400. It was not made against weaker side. And 400 against any side, be it strong or weak opposition is always an achievement
